What Students Are Saying

US5 votesThe CCCEL SAAC was an invaluable experience - mostly because it offers a perspective on community
building and communal opportunities here at the university that are not offered anywhere else. Gaining perspective on the work that goes into how programs like ARW and CAP work just give me more respect for the structure and coordination of them, and they're all programs I would highly recommend to friends.
Past CCCEL SAAC member
Being a member of this committee has been an invaluable learning experience to me because I have been well-equipped to collaborate with diverse individuals and gain new perspectives and ideas. It has helped me develop essential interpersonal skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and community leadership while contributing to those meaningful projects that make a positive impact on our mutual community.
Past CCCEL SAAC member
This is a formal committee meeting in which I am involved. It is well-prepared by the host and facilitators. I feel that my voice is being heard, listened to, and acted upon. I am looking forward to following up on how the suggestions are implemented. I would recommend others join so we can witness the changes being made and see the impact of these changes.
Past CCCEL SAAC member
Being a part of this committee has been a very rewarding experience. It provided a platform to share ideas, engage in meaningful discussions, and think collaboratively about different CCCEL initiatives. I gained valuable experience in participating in a committee environment while contributing to a supportive and welcoming team.
